64 bit build
« on: July 08, 2014, 04:25:54 pm »
Hello, I have been building the 64 bit version of code::blocks on win7 64 bit and one issue I am having is that both versions use the same default.config file in APPDATA dir. Is it possible to add _64 for the 64 bit build. I would like to keep both 32 and 64 bit versions till 64 bit is stable.

Thanks

Change the personality on the 64 bit one;  like "/p X64" without the quotes when calling it.

There is a command line option to make C::B to use custom settings directory

Code
  --user-data-dir=<str>         set a custom location for user settings and plugins
